Whether movies are controversial or not, they still should be permitted to be on the screens for one simple reason, and that is; MOVIES are for ENTERTAINMENT!! If a controversial or an "indecent" film is shown, then the people who find such movies offencive should not go and watch it because, the people who take a movie as a movie and watch it in the right spirit must not be put off with their entertainment that they are paying for, especially in the largest democratic country, INDIA. It is quite likely that the bomb blasts were made by rebels against peace or extremists who have no sense of living in a secular country. The punjab government in this case is also to be partially blamed because a movie should not bad banned, this is only encouraging rebels (anti-peace holders) and extremists in achieving their motives, which of course we (as a country) dont want.
Remember Bhezti?

Even in UK, where blatantly anti-Christian plays are shown on national television and the movies, a play called Bhezti created a furuore. The theater staging it was attacked, stones thrown, staff threatened and all such nautanki before the play was ultimately pulled. The play supposedly hurt the sentiments of Sikhs. Sikhs should show more tolerance and not create a situation where there is more than the turban that is common between them and 'you-know-who'.
